NOGALES ‒ The Arizona Department of Transportation has applied for a $25 million federal TIGER grant to allow construction of all proposed improvements to State Route 189 in Nogales at the same time, beginning in 2019.

The $25 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant would go toward construction of a southbound flyover ramp at Interstate 19 in addition to the northbound flyover ramp that’s currently funded, as well as a bridge over Frank Reed Road and other improvements to the 3.75-mile route connecting the Mariposa Port of Entry with I-19.

“ADOT is committed to working creatively with the community to accelerate State Route 189 improvements and better support trade between the U.S. and Mexico,” ADOT Director John Halikowski said. “Seeking this TIGER grant is one way we’re seeking to move forward sooner with all proposed enhancements to a route vital to international commerce and to the community of Nogales.”

The Arizona Department of Transportation is seeking public input on a proposal to build a new bridge over Pinto Creek and remove the existing bridge, located on U.S. 60 at milepost 238.25 in Gila County.

Pinto Creek Bridge was built in 1949 in compliance with bridge standards at that time. Those standards no longer meet the current minimum standards required by the Federal Highway Administration, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and ADOT’s Bridge Design Guidelines. Although safe for driving, the Pinto Creek Bridge has been deemed structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. Now, ADOT and the FHWA must address this matter, while ensuring the traveling public has a reliable bridge crossing over Pinto Creek, and while preserving the continuity of the U.S. 60 in southeastern Arizona.

The proposed action of building a new bridge and removing the existing bridge is one of four that ADOT and the FHWA could take:

(By Natasha Burton) Clothes make the man, as writer Charles Dickens once proclaimed, and a guy's choice of Halloween costume is no different. We asked image consultant William Cane to give his opinion on some of the more questionable costume options for men and what these getups may say about the guys wearing them.

Clown Cane says: "On the one hand, this costume suggests a man who is fun-loving and whimsical, almost to the point of being silly and carefree. On the other hand, the clown also symbolizes darkness and despair, as in the opera Pagliacci; and the man who wears this costume is also usually aware of the dark side of life. This combination of funny and serious can make for a very amusing and philosophical companion. Not a bad choice, indeed!"

Male Stripper Cane says: "A man who has the courage to dress in a Chippendales costume is usually either very sexy, very geeky or both. The costume itself usually reveals his upper torso, so it is a favorite of bodybuilde…

(TheFrisky.com) With all the candy, costumes and wild parties, Halloween is the perfect holiday to trick-or-treat for hookups. We say, capitalize on the cheesiness of the holiday and test out so totally lame pickup lines. Worst comes to worst, the person who rejects you will never know what you really look like. They'll just remember you as that pervy witch who tried to get in their pants. No loss, no foul. Pickup lines especially for Halloween:"I wanna take a ride on your broomstick?" "I want you to put your Tootsie Roll in my basket." "If you think I'm sexy now, you should see what I turn into at midnight." "Hi boo-tiful." "You must be tired because you've been running through my nightmares all night." "You look so good, you're making my vagina rise from the dead." "Is that candy in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" "Wanna find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of my…

There's a dark side to the holiday The Halloween of today, in which children dress up in costumes and light-heartedly demand treats from neighbors under threat of a trick, has largely been imported from the United States, where Irish immigrants introduced the custom in the 19th century. It is thought to stem from the idea that on Halloween all law is suspended. Dressing up in masks and costumes prevents people from being recognized by their own community. Being separated in this way allows the participants to play boisterous and often antisocial tricks.

It originally began as a pagan festival honoring the dead For Celts and Anglo-Saxons the year ended when the herds were brought in from pasture at the end of October. The new year began in November, marked by the festival of Samhain, a celebration in which purifying bonfires were lit. On the night before Samhain, souls of the departed could return temporarily to their hearths, and ghosts and demons were free…

Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death. Jack o' Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday. Pumpkins also come in white, blue and green. Great for unique monster carvings! Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes. Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America. The ancient Celts thought that spirits and ghosts roamed the countryside on Halloween night. They began wearing masks and costumes to avoid being recognized as human. Halloween candy sales average about 2 billion dollars annually in the United States. Chocolate candy bars top the list as the most popular candy for trick-or-treaters with Snickers #1. Halloween is the 2nd most commercially successful …

(Reader's Digest) For young children, Halloween night is one of the best of the year. But trick-or-treating can be dangerous if kids and parents aren't careful. Take a look at some vital trick-or-treating tips before you accompany your child:

Plan a route in advance Trick-or-treating could take several streets away from your house, which can cause sore legs and a bit of frustration. Avoid long paths by mapping out a route before leaving the house. Stick to paths that you and your child are familiar with to avoid getting lost.

Wear comfy shoes Make sure you and your children are in comfortable, well-fitting shoes. Girls in dresses should avoid heels, and all shoelaces should be double-tied to avoid tripping in the dark.

Stay well lit Apply reflective tape to your child's costume to ensure they are seen by drivers on the road. Carry a flashlight with you to keep your child's path lit at all times.

Make sure all costumes are short Long costumes that drag on the ground can be …

Between 10 percent and 12 percent of the world's population is left-handed, and scientists have no idea why. It could be genetic. It could be due to damage in utero. And while there are no obvious differences between those who are right-handed and those who are left-handed, we do know that lefties tend to excel at visual and spatial tasks and seem to be overrepresented among geniuses, reports LiveScience.com. What makes southpaws special? Here are ten facts:

1. Just as humans favor one hand over the other, animals also favor one paw over another. But unlike humans, which paw is favored is split about 50-50.

2. Although there is likely a genetic component involved in handedness, environment is also important. For example, researchers have found that identical twins often have different dominant hands.

3. Studies have found that southpaws have higher rates of dyslexia, schizophrenia and autoimmune diseases, such as allergies and lupus.

A small tattoo on a woman's shoulder She's funny and overtly sexy, and loves to tease.

A tattoo on the small of the back A woman who is secretly sexual. The sacrum is an overlooked but highly sensual spot, where most women love to be touched. She's telling you to "press here."

Body Glitter She's girlish and fun, curious and playful and still believes in magic. She's looking for a prince charming to put some real twinkle on her finger. Check her ID, though, teens love this stuff.

Nails Long, elaborately painted fingernails means she's trying to create the illusion of class. She may be a supermarket cashier, a bank teller, or an assembly-line riveter who's trying to disguise the fact that she's a menial laborer. Think high-maintenance.

Fine This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks - this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

Five Minutes This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

Nothing This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine."

Go Ahead (With Raised Eyebrows!) -- This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine"

Go Ahead (Normal Eyebrows) -- This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care&quot…

If your libido isn't want it used to be -- and you've ruled out medical issues, including depression -- it could be your diet. While hamburgers, fried chicken and cupcakes may feel like old-fashioned comfort food, they could also be tampering with your basic bedroom desires. Taking the advice of Brian Clement and Anna Maria Clement, co-authors of "7 Keys to Lifelong Sexual Vitality," Cosmopolitan magazine warns women to avoid or limit these six foods, all of which can lower their sex drive.

1. Soy Lattes Soy in food or beverages is packed with health benefits; studies have shown that soy can help lower cholesterol, protect the heart and possibly reduce the intensity of hot flashes. But soybeans contain plant estrogen, which can interfere with a woman's sex drive. If you must have your latte, switch to reduced-fat milk.

Is your breakfast cereal bowl filled with calories, sugar and sodium? Even if you think you're choosing wisely -- such as Cheerios or Honey Bunches of Oats -- you may be surprised. While these two cereals are among the most popular brands with the biggest sales, they are not the healthiest choices. DietDetective.com ranked 301 different cereal brands based on 19 criteria, including calorie count, fiber content, added sugar, sodium, protein, ingredient placement of whole grains, vitamins, presence of food additives and artificial coloring.

(Women's Health) You're 35,000 fee up in the air, and should something go wrong, there's no way out. "that's what even the bluest of skies can feel like for those with a fear of flying, one of the 10 most common phobias. "But flight is the safest way to travel," says pilot Katie Pribyl, "and aviation safety records are as good as they've ever been." Great in theory? Three practical ways to keep jitters in check:

Preflight Lessen external stressors by arriving at the airport with ample time to get through security and to pick up your favorite healthy snack to bring on the plane for comfort.

Takeoff and landing Listening to an audio book or music while taking off and touching down helps block out potentially irksome sounds and redirect your thoughts.

During turbulence Fear is more likely to gain a foothold when you're alone. Strike up a conversation with the person sitting next to you, whether you know them or not.

Office snacks may boost morale, but they can wreck your waistline and sabotage your health. Since most of us are lugging around excess body fat, this kind of morale booster is not helping our diet efforts and may inadvertently contribute to increasing sick days and perhaps anxiety, listlessness or moodiness when the resulting sugar rush wears off. If you weigh 160 pounds, you would need to do one of the following every day just to burn up those 480 calories: Walk for 157 minutes Ballroom dance for 132 minutes Golf (with no golf cart or caddy) for 88 minutes Backpack for 56 minutes Run fast for 29 minutes
In addition, these sugary treats wreak havoc with our bodies, spiking insulin levels and making fat burning impossible. Today the average American eats his or her weight in sugar every year. The typical person eats 50 teaspoons of sugar every day -- most of it hidden in processed and packaged foods.

According to a Women's Health tally, regularly outsourcing beauty treatments can cost over $3,000 a year. Check out their beauty math which is based on averages they sourced from different salons around the U.S. and think of all the things you could do with your newfound cash by doing it yourself:

Spray Tan The average booth spray tan clocks in at roughly $30. If you get one every month, you'll pay up to $360 a year, or about two and a half months of daily Starbucks runs.

Hair Color Prices vary, but a single process tends to run $50 to $100. Going every six weeks means forting over $450 to $900 a year, which is about the cost of a monthly car payment.

Blowout At about $40 a pop, that weekly blowout will set you back $2,080 by the end of the year or close to a quarter of the average American's federal tax bill.

Manicure A typical spa mani costs about $20, so hitting the nail salon every two weeks could ring in at $520 a year, the price of a plane ticket to some far-flung destin…

You Never Stop Being a Mom!
Ada Keating is 98-years-old and believes one thing most adamantly - you never stop being a mom. She's moved into a British retirement home so that she can help care for 80-year-old son whom she felt needed more care and support than he was getting. Keating has joined her son, Tom at Moss View care home in Liverpool, where he has been since 2016. Tom never married so they have always lived together and are inseparable, spending time playing games or watching TV. Ada said, "I say goodnight to Tom in his room every night and I'll go and say good morning to him. I'll tell him I'm coming down for breakfast. When I go out to the hairdressers he'll look for me to see when I'm coming back. When I get back he'll come to me with his arms outstretched and give me a big hug." Tom adds, "She's very good at looking after me. Sometimes she'll say "Behave yourself." Care home manager Philip Daniels said, "I…

On this date in 1517, a Catholic priest named Martin Luther nailed 95 theses on the church door, which began the Protestant Reformation. So, today is the 500th Anniversary. To be clear, I said theses. It was not only the beginning of the Reformation, but day one of the no-nailing-things-on-the-church-door policy. The church tried to settle out of court and move a few priests around, but no... Since this began the reformation and resulted in the Lutheran church, I'm going to assume that 'theses" is Latin for "Casserole recipes." It was a much more mature gesture than his first -- the 95 feces.

A member of Selena's family tells us many of them have never forgiven Justin for what they claim was extremely bad conduct during their long on-again-off-again relationship.
